Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1996 ram 1500 sway bar attachment failed. *ts the consumer stated when the sway bar fell to the ground, it caused the front wheels to rapidly go from full-left to full right at the rate of several times per second. subsequent inspection showed that the sway bar plate had never been machine welded to the frame and for several years had been held on only by three small spot welds, meant to hold the plate in place for the machine welder. the machine weld appeared to be about an eighth to a sixteenth of an inch off, missing the entire plate. *jb
